        Each year, I enjoy the dining experience of the prior 11 months. KUSAKABE is a marriage of art and food. I know to remember carefully each dish since the next will be so extraordinary that if all senses are not fully engaged for each taste, it might be forgotten for the next extraordinary taste. In 2025, my objective is to dine at least three times at this rarefied gift

        Had such a wonderful anniversary dinner here. Such delicious variety of dishes in the petite omakase and service was top notch. The trout and bluefin were standouts. Will have to come back for full omakase
